Nireas Hotel

Super

Booked last minute, liked the look of the location. Better than hoped for. All amenities close, shops, buses, bars and restaurants. Off the main road, so quiet. Lovely pool area, nice room for budget range. Beach and main town both close. For the price, hard to fault. Would definitely go again.

Really impressed by the apartment we stayed in and the level of service provided by the owner and staff. We arrived really late after missed flights and a long delay, although the reception was closed the owner had left a note on the door with very clear instructions how to find the apartment. The apartment itself was quite spacious and looked as though it had been updated recently with everything we needed, the grounds were spotless as was the apartment, the service lady came every day and there was always fresh towels, bedding and she did a super job each time. We opted for breakfast on a couple of occasions which was quite reasonable with a buffet style selection, lots of fresh fruit, eggs, omelette, greek sausage, coffee, juice ect. Although the setting was just off the main road, the complex was really quiet and relaxing with good quality sleep. Location was good for main bus route to Chania, shops and restaurants on doorstep. About 10min walk to a lovely beach. I would definitely recommend.

We arrived in June 2024 at this lovely Hotel. The Accomodation and setting lovely. Very clean and spacious apartment, with comfortable beds and hot water in shower. Could do with updating, but no complaints there. Sampled the breakfast was very nice. Very disappointed that the Pool Bar was hardly ever opened, no draft beers or Ice creams. We were told to ring or WhatsApp Christos if we wanted the Bar open. Not easy to socialise when the Pool Bar is not operating.

Stayed here for a week 1st September, we had a great time the hotel is just what we wanted clean and simple, Christos was very helpful, we hired a car from the hotel it was cheaper than those on the Main Street he was helpful in telling us where to visit, Marked it out on the map for us and we wasn’t disappointed on what he suggested, will definitely go back, thanks for having us

We arrived in beautiful Chania and were dropped off on the main road opposite the little track up to the Nireas. I had read TA reviews so knew to expect that Christos, the owner, would offer us a room upgrade but we were happy with our original room which was Apt 24 on the ground floor with a fantastic large balcony opening straight onto the pool area. We paid €5 a night for air con which was really powerful, and €10 for the safe. The room was dated but more than adequate for us as we are used to Greek accommodation. There were 2 beds pushed together and then a single bed near the door which my son slept in. There was a 2 ring hob, microwave and kettle and basic utensils but we only ate breakfast in the apartment so it was more than enough. I think you would struggle to conjure up a Cordon Bleu meal though but with so many fabulous restaurants on the doorstep, it wasn’t a worry for us. There were a few things that made us chuckle…. the apartment door had been hung the wrong way so the handle was inside the room and not on the outside 🤣 and the usual Greek plumbing scenario with the shower head on the wall but the shower screen on the other side of the shower meaning the floor got soaked 🫣 but hey, it’s Greece 🇬🇷 The maid came in every day except a Sunday and the sheets/towels were changed regularly. There was a drying rack on the patio for hanging wet beach stuff up. Plenty of socket points and the beds were super comfy. The pool area was quiet but we only used it in the afternoons once we came back from the beach. There were always sunbeds and Christos was either there or available by WhatsApp. The WiFi worked fine in our rooms and by the pool. Kato Doratso is a residential suburb just 4km outside of Chania so a perfect location for us. Just down the little road from the hotel is a supermarket on the corner for all your essentials/bottles of water. There were 4 beaches within walking distance and we chose Sunset Beach due to the stunning clear water. It’s a bay so no tide and it was shallow for a great way out meaning our son could happily swim and play without us worrying too much. There was a bar on the beach and the owner did a mean Freddo Cappuccino ☕️ 👌🏽 You could buy salads, hot snacks and sandwiches, ice creams, crisps and drinks there. There were also chargeable sunbeds and parasols and you could hire a kayak or paddle board. There was another shop near the start of the hotels to the left of the bay. We bought a couple of parasols from the shop and lay on the beach. It was full of local families and we thoroughly enjoyed mixing with them. The bus into Chania is the #21. Come out of the hotel, down onto the main road and take a right along the path. Just past the car garage there’s a bus stop and a ticket machine. You need the exact change and it’s €1.10 each into town (€2 if you pay on the bus) When you are is in Chania, as you get off, there’s a ticket machine and a kiosk to buy return tickets and you can catch the bus back
